Q: Is there still a battle like Cao Di in modern times?

Of course, there is, in fact, every victory is the result of rigorousness. There are a number of factors to consider. The deployment of the enemy's troops, the allocation of firepower, the quality of the troops, the personality and temper of the commander, the direction in which the enemy may attack, the terrain and landform around the battle, the transportation conditions, the logistical supply, especially the ammunition and military rations, the time after the campaign is launched, and the reaction actions that the enemy will take after the battle starts, must be carefully considered in order to win the battle.

The Battle of Menglianggu in the War of Liberation was such a wonderful example. Under the direct command of Su Yu, the East China Field Army took advantage of the enemy's pride after winning the Lianshui Campaign, retreated in great strides, and withdrew from northern Jiangsu to Shandong, creating the illusion that the enemy did not dare to fight a decisive battle, and then skillfully laid out its pockets and quickly surrounded the enemy's ace army that was alone in the depths with superior forces--- and the 74th Division of the Kuomintang Army under the command of Zhang Lingfu was reorganized. Puts the enemy in a passive position.

At that time, the situation on the entire battlefield was complicated, our army surrounded the enemy, and the peripheral enemy was carrying out counter-encirclement of our army, and our army had a partial advantage in strength, but from the perspective of the whole situation, the Kuomintang army had the advantage. On the one hand, the 74th Division was stubbornly waiting for reinforcements under the command of Zhang Lingfu and resisted stubbornly, and on the other hand, the enemy on the periphery, under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek, desperately wanted to open the gap and rescue Zhang Lingfu, and at the same time to form an encirclement of our army. At that time, the battlefield situation was very critical, not only to quickly destroy the 74th Division, but also to firmly hold the position and block the enemy's reinforcements, and also to prevent a war of attrition and finally being counter-surrounded by the enemy.

In the face of such a situation, Su Yu was wise and courageous, showing the demeanor of a great proletarian military strategist, commanding with certainty and skillfully arranging, on the one hand, organizing superior forces to attack, requiring the main attacking troops to destroy the 74th Division within the specified time, and on the other hand, mobilizing three columns to send reinforcements, demanding that the enemy's reinforcements be stopped at all costs to ensure the victory of the Menglianggu Campaign. At the same time, all possible scenarios were deployed, a large number of local troops were mobilized, and the militia provided support and logistical support for the main forces and harassed the enemy. The layout of the entire campaign was smooth, one link was closely linked to the other, the deployment of troops, the distribution of troops was exquisite and reasonable, the offensive was full of vigor, the withering and decaying, and the defense was as solid as steel nails, standing still.

It is required that there should be both division of labor and mutual cooperation, both key points and countermeasures, and there should be no loopholes. It was this rigorous strategic and tactical planning that ensured a major victory in the Battle of Menglianggu.

The Battle of Long Spoon was a battle that took place between the Qi and Lu states during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The battle took place in Chantan in 684 BC. It was another important battle of Qi and Lu after the battle of Ganshi. The victory of the Lu State in this battle indirectly contributed to the peace of Qilu's troops after several years of nuclear attack.

The main reason for this battle was that Qi Xianggong was assassinated by Gongsun Wuzhi, and Gongsun Wuzhi was also killed by the countrymen more than a month later. Gongzi and Gongzi Xiaobai returned to China from Lu and Ju respectively. Xiaobai came to the throne first, and it was for Qi Huan.

In order to escort Gongzi back to China, Lu Zhuang Gong was defeated in a battle with the Qi army, and was only spared. Qi then planned to attack Lu again.
